Unless you're gonna do it Saturday, it's a no-go for me...! But I'll be around for the Europa now...

Speaking of the Europa. I am still working on a gym for the ABC the Sunday of the Europa. There are not a lot of hardcore gyms in that area. I am talking to the Gold's gym there. I will keep you all updated but if you guys/gals have any suggestions on a gym thats close to the Europa show, let me know.

Thought about that but the amount of people and traffic it'll be a hell of a headache, that's why we want to keep it as close as possible. I've looked around and made some calls and if Gold's comes through it'll be pretty cool cause it's so close.

Its the logistics thats a problem, it will likely be a fairly large group (15-20 people). I won't have a car there and many of us (G Diesel, myself, the House) will have flights to catch after the ABC.

unless you got a big ole bus and will drive everyone????

[Sugarbutt]

So....I ran into one of my friends at the gym...I told him to come down...he was like, "Okay." Yay!! Hahah...I'm sure his girlfriend just LOVES me...=D

[drtyoldman31]

Does anyone eat during workouts? If so, what? Since I'm exercising in a military gym, I have to restrict myself to protien shakes and bars (which are butt nasty). Also just trying to find some advice on this one: Which is better for someone trying to cut up Whey, Soy, or Casin?

Whey. I use both whey and casein, though...whey during the day and casein at night...but if you have to use just one, whey.

What about bringing fruit to the gym?? Like a banana? It's not much, but if you need the carbs or something...a banana and a shake...or maybe a PB sandwich?

I would, but the gym staff gets a little fussy. we can bring in gym bags, but we have to take them straight to the loker room. I guess I could eat my stuff back there........

Yeah...probably your most viable option...gotta do whatcha gotta do...

...or find a solid protein bar (Tri-o-Plex DUO bars are my favvvvv!! I miss them...)

[dannynb]

Sugar is right on bro....a shake and a banana or even a bagel and a shake is good.

[dannynb]

...I'm sure his girlfriend just LOVES me...=D

But you're so lovable...I hate the entire jealousy crap.

[Sugarbutt]

But you're so lovable...I hate the entire jealousy crap.

I'm so excited he's coming though! I didn't even have to convince him...I was like, "Hey, come down to Texas on the 15th. There's a big Europa show and stuff...and we can go to Metroflex..." "Okay!"

[SQUAT or DIE!]

yo danny hows the dieting going?

[dannynb]

yo danny hows the dieting going?

Going good. I've had to make a few adjustments....have damn near gone insane, wanting nothing more than a triple Whataburger. Dropped down to 8% still weighing in at 237lbs....so not bad at all...tired of chicken, switching to lean red meat for a couple of weeks.

Soon to be closing on my first house and getting allll ready for it. THEN it will be time to start preparations for next years competitions. If ya'll ever get another meet going be sure to post up and I'll hopefully be more informed and ready to attend.

Well in the midst of fighting the terrible housing market, I've since been out of my apartment lease in Austin and had to move home for a few months while the drag-ass contractor finishes building my house.

Trying to get my life in order so it can all go straight from here on, this probably the biggest transition I've ever had to deal with, and keeping my meals right on time and staying in the gym are all I can do to stay sane. But in the meantime I'm still focusing on getting ready for the next few competitions.

I hope everyones doing ok. I don't see some of the names from the first or earlier meets posting up, so I hope they're all doing good. I know probably half are out on deployment, but it would be cool to meet some others who are around. I wish I could make it up there, but those are on my "projected" closing dates for my house and I gotta be in town. Dumb banks always wanting money n shit.... :P

G and NG it was awesome talkin with yall.. REALLY nice guys.. see yall tomorrow morning..

[Dingo06]

G, N.G., House,
Thanks tons, the shoulder session was awesome. I cant wait for danny and some of the others to post up some pics. (cell phone cam pics no good). Today is just another reason why I trust universal nutrition, no other company it seems is as blue collar and in touch with its customers.
Thanks again guys.

[dannynb]

I'll post pics as soon as I get 'em developed....me and my dipsable camera...LOL. Hell of a weekend...first the Europa, watching House, meeting NG, G and some of the pro's there....than the ABC at Metroflex with everyone....def put the fire back in me to be on stage in November.

Special thanks to House, G Diesel, Naturalguy.....thanks for taking the time to hang and talk with us...means alot. You guys ever come to Texas gimme a call.

House...thanks for teh advice and help...I won't let ya down come November.

[dannynb]

I ain't wasting no time folks...todays ABC is gonna be damn hard to beat...but it's time to plan the nxt one. So everyone chime in and let me know when and where about ya'll want to do this....ya say Dallas and I'm shooting someone...driving over 400 miles this weekend I'm tired...LOL So c'mon guys speak up or I'll pick when and where and be done with it. Next month I'm gonna try to fly up to House's show he's putting on and the ABC...so other than that weekend let's do this. I'm 10 weeks out and a bit busy with that but we need to get this rolling....

[Dingo06]

We not only need to pick the time and place, but a few more need to show their face.... I know Texas is huge, but if we ALL communicate and get the wrinkles ironed out we could have a helluva meet next time. Not to take anything away from this one, House, G, NG it was awesome, as Danny said, put a fire back in em, lit a new one in me too. I've neglected shoulders for some time now, but this definitely got my head back on straight. I know that there are more than 5 of us in Texas, hell theres got to be more than 5 of us in DFW alone, not to mention Austin, Houston and San Antone. I would say anything over 2 hours drive is too far for a day trip and would require planning for other accommodations. We don't need someone dead in a ditch cause they drove 4 hours hours for a training session, stayed for a post workout meal then tried to drive home 4 hours.

[dannynb]

Preach on brother...early on I had almost 10 or more saying they'd be there....well today...where were they. I know Texas is a big place and not all of us can afford to take time off work, drive, hotels...etc. SO I'm telling ya'll this...I have taken on the burden and responsibilty...I'll do the driving....the taking time off...all that. I hope to do an ABC each month, even if we all can't show up for each one I will be there, each month a different stretch of Texas...all I ask is that ya'll help me and make an effort to get these going. Those that didn't show up today....ya'll missed out big time. I do this cause I love it...I love to be on stage, I live to diet, I love to compete...hell I just love to lift. I'm pursuing a dream of bodybuilding....I take this seriously, I ain't half assing it. I know some of ya'll that things came up and family is more important than this....that's why I'm willing to do this once a month, so we can all part take in a meet now and than. So speak up folks...let's do this....I ain't dicking around...so don't you either.

I couldn't make it as it is football season and my weekends are full from Aug thru November...after football is gets easier as I coach basketball then...
Man I wish I could have gone.... :(
Having a session out here in West Texas (Midland/Odessa) area would be cool, we have access to our hardcore gym in Odessa and it won't cost anyone a thing to get in.
Abilene? San Angelo? Lubbock?

I am trying to get my guys here on the FORVM but they just frown on it so then I tell them about all that goes on and they get excited and talk a good game but then never log on...WTF!!!!!

Either is fine...I know that if we did it our here at our gym in Odessa, we could fire up the grill outside the gym and enjoy!!!!!! :)

IF it happened out here at our gym we don't mind the cameras and all...we also have 2 Gold's in Midland, a World's in Odessa, 24 hour fitness centers in both cities...our gym doesn't have the pretty stuff but we have DB's, a cage, lots of free weights, benches, decline, incline, cable crossover, some machines...

[dannynb]

Ya'll want something sooner we can do something next month....as for West Texas we'll plan on mid to late Nov....sound good??

[Dingo06]

It's not about the number on the bar bro...if it's heavy to you than it's heavy...nuff said. Just keep at it and you'll get it.

the sooner details get filled in the better.

... im out for now.. laundrys done

[Braindrop]

I won't make west Texas, but I'd like to hit another centex one. If we can schedule it around the following travel dates for me, yay :)

Sep 6-13
Oct 11-18
Nov 8-15

[Dingo06]

Ya'll want something sooner we can do something next month....as for West Texas we'll plan on mid to late Nov....sound good??

So fellas?!?!?! Whats it gonna be? Stop pussy-footin around. The sooner we iron this out, the better for all of us, so we can have more than a handful show up.
I already got the wifes blessing, so long as we have adequate time for planning.

second weekend in sept
(sept 13, austin area, maybe waco area?)

[Dingo06]

It's not about the number on the bar bro...if it's heavy to you than it's heavy...nuff said. Just keep at it and you'll get it.

true, but ya know we all need an ego boost every now and then, and big numbers goin assholes to ankles is a huge one, especially since most people stop 25%-50% through on a squat.

[Braindrop]

How about Saturday, Sept 20 for Centex?

[Dingo06]

sounds good to me... where at?

[dannynb]

We can do it San Marcos, San Antonio...where ever....what's the middle ground for everyone? I might be going up Sept 13 for House's show he's putting on depending on my money situation...ya'll let me know a location that sounds good for everyone....

[Braindrop]

I liked San Marcos -- it's always good to have the gym management supportive :) I could drive to Waco or SA though if necessary.

[Dingo06]

if we're talkin sat sept 20th, san marcos sounds good. i've got folks in wimberley.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

i dunno if i can make sept 20th, parents will be in corpus that wknd so ill be busy..

[Dingo06]

i dunno if i can make sept 20th, parents will be in corpus that wknd so ill be busy..

ok, so we need to pull the trigger on either the 13th or the 20th?!!!?! For a sept meet.
I should be fine for either, waco is a day trip for me. san marcos, will require my whole weekend. Their is no point in meeting in waco if I'm the only one this far north wanting to show up.

[Dingo06]

great... now i'm left talkin to myself.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

they have people to see about that ya know

[Dingo06]

yeah, but those people give you bad medicine that just screws you up more.

So whats danny doin? he hasn't responded anymore either about gettin this thing set up. To me it seems austin/ san marcos will work since I seem to be the only person north of yall to wanna do this. If having it a little farther north/central means more people show, then awesome, I'm all for it. But besides you, danny, me and one or two others it seems as though no one else cares.

[drtyoldman31]

I got an idea. Let's do it on the last saturday of each month, and start planning locations now and post it so that everyone has more than one month notice.

[drtyoldman31]

Or we could just find the geographical center of TX and make that a permenant meeting place for regular meetings, and change it if a show is going on that weekend.

this one works

if we were in OK or RI this would work.
not in Texas, because this would take commitment from everyone not near there (the center) to get a hotel and what not at each and every meet. Its better if it moves around so that people who arent that financially free can still join in from time to time.

Okay. I'm flying back to Dallas on like, the 29th, I think. I'm waiting to hear back from my friend. He's going to come down and then drive my car back up with me...I'm not sure when he's going to come down or how long he's going to stay, since he has a job and all that. I do know that he will mos def want to make a trip to M'flex since I tease him with it all the time...=D

[Sugarbutt]

is she that bad to be around, or does she just lift that much more that its embarrassing?

[dannynb]

Well damn, thanks guys...never really thought of myself as strong...but I appreciate it. I do lift with an intensity though....

so Sept 27th it is...if ya'll wanna do a get together before hand just let me know...

Sept 27th at Metroflex....we'll shoot for about 11am again....training either back or legs...


as for Sugar being a nhandfull...no worries, the more energy the better...as for her not lifting as much, there'll be plenty of us to help unload and load bars....it doesn't matter how much you can lift, as long as the weight is heavy to you, that's all that matters. It's gonna bea badass session folks...and Sugar reguardless what we train, even if it's not a lift you're good at, we'll be there to push ya through it.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

WOHA! so its the 27th at the flex?? hmmmm danny if we do i might be tryin to bum a right with you up there... and a place to crash friday night cause id have to get up real early to get there.... if you dont mind...

at metroflex??? I thought we was goin to your place this time? but im down for either. I got my sea world escapde on the 13th or 20th.
as for your intensity, Im lookin forward to pukin (hopefully not passin out or nose bleedin).
as far as for sugar, your damn right weight is all relative, heavy is heavy.
from G, im sure you've already read this though:
"Heavy is Relative
225, 315, 405 whatever. Yeah these benchmark digits come to mean a lot to us, the few warriors in this arena. They are, however, just numbers. I’m guilty of that shit too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the fuck on the bench. Big fucking deal. It is all relative. Heavy training is critical to the growth of thick, dense, enduring muscle. But heavy training for you, heavy training for me, heavy training for Sam Byrd and heavy training for your uncle Ned ain’t all the same thing in terms of numbers. However, it is exactly the same from an experiential perspective. The real shit, the shit that makes you grow hurts. No way around that. It is scary. It gives you the cold sweats. It strains your organs, making you feel like your guts are gonna leak outta your butthole or your brains are gonna stream outta your nose. If you’re benching 500 lbs and it doesn’t make you feel like you’re gonna die, guess what playboy? You ain’t training heavy. "

Although Im lookin forward to the intensity, I'm still workin on my stamina for reps. so dont whip my ass too hard.

Ya don't messed up now son...begging for mercy before the battle even begins...oh hell. I just duck my head and lift and the energy I give off will be all ya need to motivate ya to push the weight..I will push you harder than you've ever been pushed...but I'll also be right there to keep ya from hurting yourself. I'm not gonna ask anyone to do more than they can...I'm just gonna make you test your limits...that's what Animal is all about.

Like I'm gonna complain...I would say here in San Marcos...I just want Sugar to be able to attend an ABC before she takes off again and I think this is the only way.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

Its awesome that your willing to make the trip again man. As i said either way im lookin forward to it.

I also dont know if you can push me harder than my wife.... I love havin her in the gym on leg nights (when she feels up to it). she runs the leg press, droppin plates and hecklin me. its weird when you actually enjoy being demeaned by your wife, "c'mon you pussy, is that all you got? wow, i guess i do wear the pants in the relationship!" shit like that, lol

I can barely make 225 for 5, but i can leg press 12 (6 per side) pies fairly consistently for 8 and 14 for 4-6. i know it has to with the angle and not needing stabilization muscles, but c'mon. i just find it extremely off balance for their to be that much of a difference.
